Registering for Classes

In order to sign up for your favorite class, simply stop by the front desk of the Rec Center, call 978.665.3683, or sign up online with these instructions. You may only sign up for a class during the current week. Every Sunday we will open up the schedule for that week.

We will start the waiting list line 10 minutes prior to the class outside the Dance/Aerobics Studio.
